Chapter 30 Disaster Relief

After talking with Qi Jiguang last night, Zhang Yun also had a specific understanding of the disaster. The most urgent task now is to distribute the food that we have brought. As for going to sea, Zhang Yun thought about temporarily suppressing the disaster first, and then proceeding.

Under the recommendation of Qi Zuoguo, Zhang Yun received the support of the prefect of Dengzhou, whose name was Yang Zhen, who was a jinshi in the second year of Longqing.

Dengzhou Mansion, on the outskirts of the city, a middle-aged man in a scarlet official robe was hurriedly directing the distribution of disaster relief, and the cloud goose on the chest of his official uniform was declaring his identity as a four-rank civil official.

The complements of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty are as follows, and the complement patterns of the civil officials from the first to the ninth rank are cranes, golden pheasants, peacocks, cloud geese, white pheasants, herons, emus, orioles and quails. The first to fourth grades wear scarlet robes; The fifth to seventh grades wear green robes; Eight and nine products wear green robes; The official uniform of miscellaneous duties that has not entered the stream is the same as that of the eighth grade or less.

Zhang Yun, under the leadership of Qi Zuoguo, also came to the suburbs quickly, and after Yang Zhen saw Qi Zuoguo coming, he immediately came over to say hello, and said with a smile: "Lord Qi, you are finally here, if you don't come again, my little food will not be enough." After speaking, he also looked at Zhang Yun with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Qi Zuoguo immediately pointed at Zhang Yun and introduced with a smile: "This is the envoy of Jinyi Weinan Town, Lord Zhang Yun, he came to relieve the disaster on the orders of the emperor." ”

After Yang Zhen heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "Great, I have been saved in Dengzhou, I don't know how much food Lord Zhang brought with him this time?" ”

After hearing this, Zhang Yun said embarrassedly: "I'm afraid it's only enough for half a month." "Most of the grain that Zhang Yun brought this time was taken by Shen Li and went straight to Jinan, and there was naturally not much in Dengzhou.

After Yang Zhen heard this, he frowned, sighed, bowed his hand to Zhang Yunyi, and then walked to the high platform and said to the victims: "Fellow villagers, we have been rescued in Dengzhou Mansion, this is Lord Zhang sent by the emperor for disaster relief, the food he brought is enough to eat for half a year, we are saved!" ”

Zhang Yun and Qi Zuoguo were speechless when they heard that Yang Zhen was super doubled, and he directly multiplied by ten. However, Zhang Yun looked at these unclothed victims, and looked at the expectant eyes of the victims, Zhang Yun couldn't bear to debunk this lie.

Zhang Yun smiled, confidently walked on the high platform, and said loudly to the audience: "Fellow villagers, I am sent by His Majesty to provide disaster relief, rest assured, Your Majesty has not forgotten you, Lord Shen Li has gone to Jinan with the emperor's grain, and I am in charge of Dengzhou Mansion, the food is enough, I Zhang Yun promises, I will give you a way to live!" At the end, Zhang Yun clenched his fists and shouted.

After Yang Zhen heard Zhang Yun's words, he immediately announced to everyone: "Today, I will add food to you first, today there will be not only gruel, but also two steamed buns for each person." Eat slowly, but don't hold on. The crowd burst into laughter.

When it came to the meal, the entire disaster relief site was filled with the fragrance of steamed buns, and the faces of the victims were full of smiles.

However, after returning to reality, Zhang Yun's good mood disappeared in an instant. This time the food is only enough for half a month, if we can't find a solution immediately, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this winter, and now it's the height of summer.

Zhang Yun looked at Yang Zhen and whispered, "Lord Yang, what should we do next?" ”

Yang Zhen sighed and didn't speak, just looked in the direction of Bohai with some resentment.

Zhang Yun followed his gaze and understood what he meant, but the problem was that far water couldn't quench his thirst.

Zhang Yun still wanted to knock on those profiteers first, just when Zhang Yun was thinking about the plan, a little girl grabbed the corner of his clothes, Zhang Yun looked back, and saw that the little girl, with two braids, was wearing a small red shirt, her clothes were shabby, and her whole person was dirty. However, a pair of big eyes are unusually smart.

The little girl took a steamed bun and said to Zhang Yun: "Big brother, this is for you, Yu'er can't eat two steamed buns, can you give it to you first, there will be steamed buns to eat every day in the future." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Yun touched the little girl's head, took the steamed bun, and said gently: "Of course, Yu'er will have steamed buns to eat every day in the future." ”

After hearing this, the little girl had a smile on her face, and after saying goodbye to Zhang Yun, she immediately galloped towards her mother.

Zhang Yun called Zhao Hu and asked him to take care of the little girl's family. Then, he followed Yang Zhen towards the city.

Dengzhou Mansion, Yang Zhen at this time, was walking around the hall with an anxious face, and he didn't have the pride and ambition just now.

Zhang Yun was thinking about how to extort a fortune businessman, and as soon as Zhang Yun thought of this, he said to Yang Zhen: "Lord Prefect, you go and call me all the big families in the city tomorrow, and say that there is something important to discuss." ”

Although Yang Zhen didn't know what medicine was sold in Zhang Yun's gourd, he could only do it.

The next day, the people of the three major families came to the county government, these three families are the Wang family, the Zhao family, and the Zhang family, among which the Zhang family is the most powerful.

In the county office, the people of the three major families who arrived early began to chat, and a middle-aged fat man who looked like a fat man said with a smile: "What do you say about this prefect, what is the matter with calling us?" ”

One of them, a thin man dressed as a literati, smiled and said, "What else can it be, isn't it just food?" I'm not going to sell it to the untouchables, I'll see what they can do. ”

In the end, the shrewd man who had not spoken said said: "The head of the Zhao family is still careful of the trouble, I heard that this time the emperor also sent his favorite minister Zhang Yun to come, but you have to be careful." ”

When the head of the Zhao family heard this, he wanted to refute, but he saw Yang Zhen walking in with Zhang Yun. As soon as the three of them saw Yang Zhen, they immediately stood up and saluted, and then looked at Zhang Yun.

Seeing this, Yang Zhen immediately smiled at the people of the three major families and said, "This is Lord Zhang of Jinyiwei, you should know the purpose of his coming to my Dengzhou." ”

Then pointed to the people of the three major families and introduced to Zhang Yun, the fat middle-aged man was the head of the Wang family, Wang Fu, and the thin middle-aged man was the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Gang, and finally pointed to the shrewd middle-aged man and introduced: "This is the head of the Zhang family, Zhang Rulong"

After Zhang Yun heard this, he immediately touted the three major families, what scholarly families, what celebrities in Dengzhou, those three families are very useful. After the boasting, the people of the three major families did not speak, and the whole situation instantly fell into a stalemate.

Yang Zhen had to say solemnly: "All the heads of the family are the pillars of my Dengzhou, and now I am in trouble in Dengzhou, I hope you can be generous, and I Yang for the people, thank you." ”

After hearing this, the three heads of the family looked embarrassed, and immediately began to cry poor, saying that they did not have much food in their family, and they had to control the food and drink of the family.

Everyone saw that Yang Zhen's face was not very good-looking, and the three of them got together to discuss. In the end, Wang Fu stretched out a finger with a painful face.

Yang Zhen was overjoyed when he saw this, and said excitedly: "1000 stones? ”

That Wang Fu shook his head and said with a smile: "100 stones" Yang Zhenton was disappointed, after all, 1 stone was only 120 catties in ancient times.

Approaching, Zhao Gang said with a weird smile: "Hey, how generous is the head of the Wang family, then I will give 150 stones."

Zhang Rulong expressed his willingness to give 200 stones, which attracted the two of them to give a thumbs up, which was exaggerated like a dragon.

Zhang Yun was on the sidelines, watching their performance coldly. Xin said: "Let you pretend for a while, and then there will be a time for you to cry." ”

Zhang Yun cleaned up his mood for a while, smiled at the families of the three major families and said, "I have a chance to make a fortune, I don't know if the heads of the families are willing to do it?" ”
